How to start a $4,000/month YouTube automation channel in 4 steps
No filming required
Hey there,
YouTube pays creators based on views and watch time. The more people watch your videos, the more money you make.
Most people think you need to be on camera. Show your face. Build a personal brand.
You don't.
Faceless YouTube channels are making $3,000 to $10,000 per month. No camera. No personality. Just good content that people want to watch.
And AI can create almost all of it for you.
Let me show you the exact 4 step process people are using right now.
Step 1: Pick a Profitable Niche
Not every niche works for faceless channels. Some topics need a person on camera. Others work perfectly without one.
Here are the niches that are working right now.
Top earners (high CPM, good views):
Personal finance tips (budgeting, investing, credit cards)
Tech reviews and comparisons (gadgets, software, apps)
History and documentary style content (wars, mysteries, events)
Self improvement and productivity (habits, time management, mindset)
Business and entrepreneurship (side hustles, marketing, scaling)
Medium earners (decent CPM, easier to grow):
True crime stories
Interesting facts and trivia
Travel destinations and guides
Gaming news and updates
AI and technology explained
Pick one. Don't try to do multiple niches on one channel. Focus means you build an audience faster.
The sweet spot is a niche you're interested in enough to make 100+ videos about. And a niche where advertisers actually pay to run ads.
One major reason AI adoption stalls? Training.
AI implementation often goes sideways due to unclear goals and a lack of a clear framework. This AI Training Checklist from You.com pinpoints common pitfalls and guides you to build a capable, confident team that can make the most out of your AI investment.

Step 2: Create Videos Using AI (No Filming)
Here's where it gets good. You can create entire videos without ever touching a camera.
The script: Use ChatGPT to write the entire video script.
Prompt example:
"Write a 10 minute YouTube script about the 5 biggest financial mistakes people make in their 20s. Format: engaging intro hook, 5 main points with examples for each, strong outro with a call to action to subscribe. Conversational tone. Around 1,500 words."
You get a complete script in 60 seconds.
The voiceover: Use AI voice tools like ElevenLabs or Murf.
Paste your script. Pick a natural sounding voice. Generate the audio file.
Sounds like a real person. Nobody can tell it's AI if you pick a good voice.
The visuals: You have three options here.
Option 1: Stock footage. Sites like Pexels, Pixabay, and Envato have thousands of free videos. Download clips that match your script. Edit them together.
Option 2: AI-generated video. Tools like Runway or Pika can create video clips from text prompts. Works great for abstract concepts or future tech topics.
Option 3: Simple animations. Tools like Canva or Descript let you create animated text, charts, and visual elements. Clean and professional looking.
Most successful faceless channels mix all three. Stock footage for B-roll. AI video for unique scenes. Animations for explaining concepts.
The editing: Use CapCut or DaVinci Resolve (both free). Import your voiceover. Add your visuals. Add background music. Add captions.
First few videos take 2 to 3 hours to edit. Once you have a template, it drops to 1 hour per video.
Step 3: Post Consistently and Optimize for Growth
YouTube rewards consistency more than anything else.
The channels making $4,000+ per month are posting at least 2 to 3 videos per week. Some post daily.
Here's the weekly schedule that works:
Sunday: Write 3 video scripts using AI. Takes 30 minutes total.
Monday: Generate voiceovers for all 3 scripts. Download stock footage or create AI video clips. Takes 2 hours.
Tuesday and Wednesday: Edit all 3 videos. Takes 3 to 4 hours total.
Thursday: Upload and schedule all 3 videos. Write titles, descriptions, and tags using ChatGPT. Takes 1 hour.
Total weekly time commitment: 7 to 8 hours. Three videos published.
After 3 months of this, you'll have 36 to 40 videos on your channel. That's when growth starts to compound.
Optimize every upload:
Your title needs to be click worthy. Your thumbnail needs to stand out. Your description needs keywords.
Use ChatGPT for this too.
Prompt:
"Write 5 YouTube title options for a video about [your topic]. Each title should be under 60 characters, curiosity driven, and include the main keyword. Also write a 200 word video description optimized for YouTube search. Include 10 relevant tags."
Pick the best title. Use the description. Add the tags. Upload.

Step 4: Monetize and Scale
YouTube pays through the Partner Program. You need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours to qualify.
If you post 3 videos per week with decent content, you'll hit this in 3 to 6 months.
Once you're monetized, here's what the income looks like.
Month 6 (just monetized):
50,000 views per month
$3 to $8 CPM depending on niche
Income: $150 to $400/month
Month 9 (growing):
200,000 views per month
Income: $600 to $1,600/month
Month 12 (established):
500,000 views per month
Income: $1,500 to $4,000/month
Month 18 (scaled):
1,000,000 views per month
Income: $3,000 to $8,000/month
The income is passive in the sense that old videos keep getting views. A video you made 6 months ago can still earn you $100 this month.
Beyond ad revenue:
Once you have an audience, you add other income streams.
Affiliate links in descriptions. Sponsored videos. Selling your own products. Patreon for exclusive content.
Most channels making $10,000+ per month get half from ads and half from these other sources.
The Reality Check
This works. But it's not fast and it's not easy.
You need to make 50 to 100 videos before you see real traction. Most people quit at video 10 because the views are low.
The first 3 months are the hardest. You're creating content and getting 100 views per video. It feels like nothing's working.
Then something shifts. One video hits. The algorithm picks it up. Suddenly you're getting 10,000 views. Then your other videos start getting recommended too.
That's when growth explodes. But you have to get through the first 50 videos to get there.
Here's How to Make This Easier
The hard part isn't the editing or uploading. It's coming up with 100+ video ideas and writing scripts that actually keep people watching.
That's where most people get stuck. They run out of ideas after 20 videos. Or their scripts are boring and people click away after 30 seconds.
I've built 3,100+ video prompts and 10,000+ ChatGPT prompts specifically for this.
Video scripts for every niche. Titles that get clicks. Hooks that keep people watching. Descriptions optimized for search.
You don't need to brainstorm ideas for an hour every time you want to make a video. The prompts are already written.

P.S. The best time to start a YouTube channel was 3 years ago. The second best time is today. In 6 months you'll either have a monetized channel making passive income or you'll be in the exact same spot you're in right now. The only difference is starting.
